Actually, I have to drop out of this. I'm in too many RPs.

~ Piper

I scurry down the stairs, and open my locker. As I grab for my folder, a piece of paper flutters out. A note? It reads, meet me tonight at 9:12 or I'll let everyone know your secret. No! What can I do? I see Iredessa running into class, with a worried look on her face. In her hand is a note with red writing.  

"I'm normal, I have to be normal," I mutter to myself as I race to my locker.

This morning something happened. Something that should put me in an insane asylum. Or worse.

~

My brother, who is in a grade below me, was being teased again. He's small, weak, has huge, round glasses, and wears braces. He also has a severe chronical stutter. Well, as I said, he was being teased by his classmates. I had happened to pass by the hall and hear the mocking conversation.

"Look at big St-St-Stutter Glass!" A kid shouted.

Others had joined in, laughing and calling him Stutter Glass due to obviously his stutter and glasses.

"I-I I can't d-do any-anything aabout it," my brother said, trying to sound fierce.

His stutter was throwing it off, making him sound like a nervous wreck as usual.

It was 10 am at the time, I had to get to class in a few minutes. Stopping here would just make me late. Then again, it was my brother.

"Hey, stop it!" I said, stepping in the room.

"Or else what? Big little sister's gonna shove us in the closet?" a huge boy laughed. "Little Stutter Boy here was just leaving."

My brother backed up and headed to the door, obliging to his enemies. I was furious and stepped toward the boy. He smirked, looking proud until I felt something change. I was getting shorter, longer, hair was sprouting upon my skin, my vision became sharper. I shrieked, but only a growl came out of my mouth.

The larger boy jumped back in fear as I prowled closer. Whatever had happened wasn't normal... but I could use this as an advantage. My animal - wolf - instincts had kicked in, and I jumped at the boy's throat involuntarily.

Then something stopped me.

"S-St-Stop!" My brother had shouted. "Do-Don't do i-it!"

Everything froze. The boy passed out in fear, and I had felt myself changing back. I had raced out of the classroom as my body finished it's transformation into a human again.

~ 

Three hours later, I am at my locker, looking back at what had happened. Something... something dangerous took hold of who I was. I felt as if I had the mind of the sense of a wolf. I run my fingers across the lock. 2-7-16. The day my mother died.

I grab my books and discover a red note. It read, Meet me tonight at 9:12 pm, or I'll let everyone know your secret.

Someone knew what had happened.

And had the courage to say so. 

"Another normal morning. I hit the alarm clock so hard that it broke a window. Don't ask. No really, there is a alarm clock sized hole in the window! When you come over you'll see it. So how was your morning? Not as dull as mine I hope?"

My best friend, Alexandria, but I just call her AJ, and I walked off the bus patio and into the large high school. (What should the school be called? And what's the mascot? I think it should be a tiger, thats the mascot at my high school) Our matching Ivory Ella tees and short jeen shorts were adorable and clearly stated that we were bffs. "Well i started out with my dog licking my face off, practically, and then my maskarra ran out! So i had to put eyeliner on instead!" oh, i laughed a little. "Here, i always carry an extra." i hand her a bright pink container. 

"By you any chance have a merior too?" i hand her my blush merior.

"Thanks."  While we were talking, Maggie well we call her MA, snuck up and and hit us in the shoulders. I jumped, and so did AJ, and we laughed a little as her maskara left five marks up her fourhead. "Here you can just rub it off." 

She dose and we laugh a little more.

~✴~

Its five minuts before class starts. The five munit bell had just rang. Me and my freinds go seporat ways. Walking towards my locker, someone bumbs me in my sholder. "Nice clothes." the girl laughed as she walked away. "Totally so last season. Oh, and i dont care that your helping elephants, you need to start helping your fashion." 

Madi Colt. The biggest jerk in school. Well, besides Elise. And not including the boys. "One of these days youll get whats coming for you." i mummble under my breath as i walk towards my locker.

I opened it and suddenly felt an itch on my sholder. I scratch it, then lick it. I freeze. Well that was weird. I glance down at my locker. Theres a note, in red ink.

Come at 9:15. Or else your secret will be reveald. Come ALONE. 

Thw last part was underlined. Three times. Must be important. But what secrets do i have? Lets think....well all my secrets everyone knows. Except....my new crush. Uh oh. If thats out there i will never be popular. I have to go.

Elysia:

I walk into my new high school apprehensively. I'm surrounded by a mob of teenagers talking and laughing and screaming across the hallway too each other, and I'm starting to feel claustrophobic by all the people pressing in on all sides. A pretty girl with waaaaay too much makeup on shouldered into me. "Oops! Sorry!" she said sarcastically, like she was not sorry at all. Then she laughed annoyingly - "Ooh, nice shoes by the way!" she giggles, and walks off before I have the chance to reply. Definitely don't trust that one, I tell myself. I hear her friends call her Madi. Ugh. I look down at my shoes. They're old, worn sneakers that I've had for more than a year. I've stopped growing now, so they still fit. Looks like I'll be one of the smallest, again. I look at the rest of my outfit. I'm wearing strong camo pants that were probably made for boys. Who cares? I still like them. I'm also wearing a navy blue t shirt that I got at a 5k race that has the race name on the front and the sponsors on the back. It has a cool white picture of the statue of liberty on it. I've never worn makeup in my life. I don't care what people think. I'm fine with what I'm wearing.

I wonder if I'll make any friends here? Friends are hard to make. You have to trust friends. I don't trust anyone.

When I get to my locker, I see a note: Meet me tonight at 9:12 pm or I'll let everyone know your secret. Right. Sure you will, Mr. Mysterious Secret Guy. Nobody knows my secrets. I don't tell anyone anything. I've switched schools ten different times to avoid being found out. I've lived on my own for the past six years of my life to avoid the people looking for me. Nobody could possibly know that I can change into a... well, never mind. Maybe I'll go. Maybe not. It depends. Probably not. It seems like a trap. I don't trust it.

As I walk into class, I notice a mean looking girl bump into another girl with dirty old shoes. "Oops! Sorry!" She says sarcastically. I can tell she didn't mean it. "Nice shoes!" She mocks. She had just come from the lockers, and from to girls wearing elephant shirts. She had said, "Haha! Those shirts are way out of season! And I don't care if your saving elephants!" This last joke on the girl with the old sneakers was enough to tell me this jerk was about to get what was coming to her for a long time. I ran ahead of her, with lightning speed, and cut her off. "Hey! Watch it, shorty!" She says as she tries to duck last me. But I'm too fast for her, and get in front of her again. "Who are you callin shorty?" I ask. "You, dummy!" The girl, whose name I think is Madi, tries to get away again. "Don't call me that." I say calmly, but sharply. "And you might as well stop playing innocent, and 'fess up, 'cuz I saw what you did back there." Madi snickered and took a step toward me. "Stop making fun of people! Just stop being such a jerk!" I yell in her face. I start to fell angrier. An almost uncontrollable feeling wells up inside me. No. I have to control myself. I can't change firms now! This is the wrong time! "Oh yeah? And what are you gonna do about it?" Madi asks, poking a finger into my chest. Then she pushes me, and I fall backward, flailing my arms. I hit the ground hard, grunting. "Ooph!" My cheeks turn red as fire, something that happens not when I'm embarrassed, but when I'm angry. "That's right!" Madi mocks again. "Your as tiny as a mouse, and that's all you'll ever be! Why don't you just run home to your mommy, little baby?" She laughs, and so do a few other girls gathered around her. I can't control myself anymore. I try to hold it back, but that push was the thing to set me off. I try to speak, but all that comes out is a squeak. Madi laughs harder. And then the transformation begins. I fell myself shrinking, smaller and smaller, and then white fur begins to cover my entire body. My teeth are replaced by dagger-sharp fangs. Two in the front, long and shiny and white. "You can't just push me around like that!" I scream, this time loud, but high pitched. All they can hear is a loud high pitched squeak, but Madi is gasping for air, and the other girls mouths hanging wide open. I run, my small muscles charging with energy, and pushing me forward. I dart up Madi's pant leg, which leaves her screaming and shrieking and dancing about, all the school staring at her, and her in complete and total humiliation and mortification. I climb out of her pants, and into her shirt, scurring up until the collar. Then, I climb slowly up her face, whispering. "You aren't going to get away with any more of this." When all she can hear are tiny growls. "Ahhh, ahhh, ahh," is all she can say, frozen still. I open my mouth, and chomp down on Madi's nose. My needle sharp teeth sink into the tender flesh. She screams. I scream. I jump for the floor, hitting it hard. As soon as I hit the floor, I change back. Madi has fainted. I gasp. What have I done? My heart starts beating fast, and i start to back away. My breathing speeding up. "Wait!" The girl with the old sneakers yells. She runs toward me. "I'm sorry," I say. "I-I have to go!" And with that I speed off to the girl's room.

In the restroom I hide. I can't face all those people after what happened. Everyone knows my secret now. Well, maybe not everyone. Just a few girls. But a few girls can mean the end for me. I study mysekf in the mirror. I'm still short, but not hamster sized. I'm all human now, exept for one thing that always stays the same. My teeth. My dagger long, knife sharp teeth. The one thing I've hidden from everyone all these years. Because if they know about my teeth, they'll know my secret. The secret that could cost me everything. 

Could we add a location to the note? The Science Class? After school hours?

~~~

I run to the Science class at least an hour early, and quickly duck into the closet. I need to find out who's doing this....

....I hear the lock click... and then, for at least an hour... nobody comes. Then I hear footsteps, and I try to twist the doorknob. I peek out...and it's a student. She holds the note in her hand. It's not a theif or weird guy at all!

(Anyone can be this student who came there) 

I'm speechless. Another shapeshifter? "You can-" I don't finish my sentence before I turn into my animal form unexpectedly. The Fox-girl, I think her name is Elysia, changes back, and looks confused. I use all my energy to change, and now I'm human again. "Um, sorry. I can't really control it yet. I think your changing triggered me or something..." I say. "Oh, and I'm Piper, by the way." I say extending a hand. The girl shakes it. "I'm Elysia." She says. "So, you got the note, too?" I ask. Elysia nods. "I think someone caught one of us shapeshifting," she says worriedly. "Or all of us." 

"Do you think we should go?"

"I don't know. Do you know any other shapeshifters?"

"Not exactly, but I saw a girl holding a note with red writing going into the science room."

"Ok, let's talk to her at lunch."

"What if I change during lunch? You know, before we can get away from everyone?"

"you won't. Your triggers so far are just other shapeshifting, right?"

"yes, and anger. When I changed earlier, I didn't mean to. It was the anger.  I seem to discover new triggers all the time. When anyone shapeshifts, I feel this pull, and I just, change."

"wait," Elysia looks suspicious. "You say that like you know a bunch of shapeshifters outside the school."

i can't tell her my history. Not yet. I don't trust her, yet. "I dont. Just one. My mother. It's a long story" Elysia looks confused, but says, "come on. Let's go to the science room."

Dorry if I controlled you too much, Riddker/Elysia!
